Our english lesson

Teacher: Good morning, all! Sit down, please! I expect no one is away?

Monitor: Nobody is. All are present. Oh, sorry, Ann is not here.

Teacher: What's up? Is she ill?

Monitor: It's flu with a high temperature.

Teacher: That's too bad. Well now. Let's begin. We'll check our homework. Mike, will you take your exercise-book and come to the board?

Mike: Shall I write the words in transcription?

Teacher: Do. And you, Helen, read Text 7, will you? The others should write down the mistakes if she has any. Do you follow me? Will you read a little louder, please. That'll do. Any mistakes noticed?

Julia: I believe there's some palatalization in the nouns "family" and "Benny".

Teacher: That's it. Please, Helen, pronounce the words. Now it's correct. You must work more. Pronunciation is your weak point, I'm afraid.

Helen: Shall I read the text again for the next time?

Teacher: Yes. Have another try and make your reading more distinct. Now everybody look at the board!

Mike: Shall I read the exercise?

Teacher: Of course. (Mike reads). Is everything correct, Pete?

Pete: I think it is.

Teacher: Thank you, Mike. Clean the board, please, and go to your seat. (To the monitor). Have we got the headphones?

Monitor: Here they are.

Teacher: Fine. Let's listen to the new text. Open your books at page 81. Will you please switch on the cassette-recorder? Thank you.
